    gimp_drawable_edit_gradient_fill (

      gdouble offset,
      gboolean supersample,
      gint supersample_max_depth,
      gdouble supersample_threshold,

      gdouble y2
    )

#### Description [src]

Draw a gradient between the starting and ending coordinates with the specified gradient type.

This tool requires information on the gradient type. It creates the specified variety of gradient using the starting and ending coordinates as defined for each gradient type. For shapeburst gradient types, the context’s distance metric is also relevant and can be updated with gimp_context_set_distance_metric().

This procedure is affected by the following context setters: gimp_context_set_opacity(), gimp_context_set_paint_mode(), gimp_context_set_foreground(), gimp_context_set_background(), `gimp_context_set_gradient()` and all gradient property settings, gimp_context_set_distance_metric().

Available since: 2.10

#### Parameters

`gradient_type`

  Type: `GimpGradientType`

  The type of gradient.

`offset`

  Type: `gdouble`

  Offset relates to the starting and ending coordinates specified for the blend. This parameter is mode dependent.

`supersample`

  Type: `gboolean`

  Do adaptive supersampling.

`supersample_max_depth`

  Type: `gint`

  Maximum recursion levels for supersampling.

`supersample_threshold`

  Type: `gdouble`

  Supersampling threshold.

`dither`

  Type: `gboolean`

  Use dithering to reduce banding.

`x1`

  Type: `gdouble`

  The x coordinate of this gradient’s starting point.

`y1`

  Type: `gdouble`

  The y coordinate of this gradient’s starting point.

`x2`

  Type: `gdouble`

  The x coordinate of this gradient’s ending point.

`y2`

  Type: `gdouble`

  The y coordinate of this gradient’s ending point.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

TRUE on success.
